Abstract

This is a method for monitoring client state in a course of a conversation between a client and a server under a stateless network protocol, such as HTTP. In one embodiment, after the initial request, the client is redirected to the same page as requested, but with a modified URL that includes an ID assigned to the conversation. Because the links of the redirected page are static, no URL rewriting is required. When the client clicks on one of the links of the page, the Referrer field of HTTP carries the conversation ID as part of the modified URL. This process is repeated during the conversation. The second embodiment needs only a single redirect at the beginning of the conversation, but requires that all URLs be relative to the root of the server. Here, we encode the ID in the modified URL at the root, so that all future accesses from the relative links automatically encode the ID in the root of the URL.
